MANAGEMENT’S RESPONBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and all information in the quarterly report are the
responsibility of the Board of Directors and management. These interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards. Management maintains the necessary systems of internal controls, policies and procedures to
provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and that the financial records are reliable and form a proper
basis for the preparation of financial statements.
The Board of Directors ensures that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and
internal control through an Audit Committee. This committee, which reports to the Board of Directors,
meets with the independent auditors and reviews the financial statements.
The interim condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended August 31,
2020 are unaudited and prepared by Management. The Company’s independent auditor has not performed

1. Nature of Operations
Blue Star Gold Corp. (“Blue Star” or the “Company”) was incorporated on April 13, 2007 pursuant to the
Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company’s principal business activity is the
acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests. The Company is in the exploration stage and
substantially all the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these property interests.
There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven exploration and evaluation
assets contain economically recoverable mineral resources.
The Company is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “BAU”, and
its corporate head office is located at 507 – 700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia
V6C 1G8.
2. Basis of Presentation
a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including comparatives that are
unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent
with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (“IASB”).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies
consistent with those used in the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended
November 30, 2019 except for income tax expense which is recognized and disclosed for the full financial
year in the audited financial statements.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on
October 21, 2020
b) Going concern
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no
assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability
of the carrying value of its resource properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon
the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable
reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative
financing, if necessary, or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an
advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern
basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in
the normal course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As at August 31, 2020, the Company has an
accumulated deficit of $10,734,063 (November 30, 2019 - $9,133,860) and has working capital of $16,855
(November 30, 2019 – deficiency of $1,005,653) and has incurred significant losses. These circumstances
may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due, and
accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The
recovery of amounts capitalized for exploration and evaluation assets at August 31, 2020 and November
30, 2019 in the consolidated statement of financial position is dependent upon the ability of the Company
to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development and continued exploration of the properties.
The Company plans to raise funds primarily through the issuance of shares or obtain profitable operations.
The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
c) Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries, Ulu Mining Inc. and Inukshuk Exploration Incorporated (“Inukshuk”), both
incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated upon consolidation. A subsidiary is an entity that the Company controls, either directly or
indirectly. Control is based on whether an investor has power over the investee, exposure or rights to
variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to
affect the amount of returns.
d) Functional and presentation currency
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries’ reporting and functional currency is the Canadian dollar.
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in
effect on the consolidated statements of financial position date, while non-monetary assets and liabilities
are translated at historical rates. Expenses are translated at the average rates over the reporting period. Gains
and losses from these translations are included in profit or loss.
e) Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial
instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their
fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis
of accounting.
f) Estimates and judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ
from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are
uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and
may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, and the revision affects both current and future
periods.
Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are as follows.
Critical accounting estimates
i. Recognition of deferred taxes
The determination of income tax expense and deferred income tax involves judgment and estimates as
to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and
interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to
assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates
may materially affect the final amount of deferred income taxes or the timing of tax payments.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
f) Estimates and judgments (continued)
Critical accounting estimates (continued)
ii. Share-based payments
Estimating the fair value of granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation
model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires
determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected rate of
forfeitures, price volatility, interest rate and dividend yield. Changes in the input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate of the Company’s earnings and reserves.
iii. Interest rates
The Company estimates a market interest rate in determining the fair value of the liability component
of its convertible debentures and loans payable. The determination of market interest rate is subjective
and could materially affect the fair value estimate.
iv. Recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets
The carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and the likelihood of future economic
recoverability of these carrying values is subject to significant management estimates. The application
of the Company’s accounting policy for and determination of recoverability of capitalized assets is
based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. New information may change estimates
and assumptions made. If information becomes available indicating that recovery of expenditures is
unlikely, the amounts capitalized are impaired and recognized as a loss in the period that the new
information becomes available. A change in estimate could result in the carrying amount of capitalized
assets being materially different from their presented carrying costs.
Critical accounting judgements
i. Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Assets or cash-generating units are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any
indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information
when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s
exploration and evaluation assets.
ii. Going concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds
to pay its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned
and contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies
consistent with those used in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
November 30, 2019.
Adoption of new accounting policies
IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) was adopted on December 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.
This approach does not require restatement of prior period financial information as it applies the standard
prospectively. This standard replaced IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”). Under IAS 17, operating lease
expenditures were expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term whereas under IFRS 16, there is an
increased focus on control of the underlying asset.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) asset
A lease is a contract that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an
identified asset. The Company initially recognizes a lease at its commencement date which is when an
identified asset is made available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at the initial amount of the lease
liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct or
estimated restoration costs. A right-of-use asset is then depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the asset’s useful life or the lease term.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities include the present value of future fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable, and
the exercise price of a purchase option if it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Future fixed lease payments
are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily
determinable. The term of each lease includes its non-cancellable period. The term can also include periods
covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. After
the commencement date, the Company continually measures its lease liabilities to reflect changes in lease
payments, discount rates or the leases’ remaining term with an offsetting adjustment to right-of-use assets.
Each lease payment is comprised of both a financing and principal component. Financing costs are charged
to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over each lease’s term. Lease payments
are applied against lease liabilities using the effective interest method.
Short-term leases with an initial lease term of less than twelve months are evaluated by class of the
underlying asset whereas lease payments for low-value assets are evaluated on a lease-by-lease basis. Short-
term and low-value leases can be accounted for as either leases or expensed.
Adoption of IFRS 16
The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from December 1, 2019 and has elected to use the modified
retrospective approach. The cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings as at
December 1, 2019 and the Company will not restate comparative information for prior periods presented.
The details of the changes in accounting policy are discussed below.
To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company applies the new definition of a lease under
IFRS 16 namely if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time
in exchange for consideration.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Adoption of new accounting policies (continued)
The Company’s only lease assets are office space. Previously under IAS 17 the Company classified leases
as operating or finance leases based on whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards
of ownership. The Company previously did not have any leases that were classified as finance leases. Under
IFRS 16, the Company recognizes right of use assets and lease liabilities for all leases expect where the
Company has elected to use the practical expedient to not recognize right-of use assets and lease liabilities
for low-value assets or short-term leases under 1 year that are not expected to renew. The Company has
recognized low-value assets and short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate non-lease
components from lease components for which the Company is the lessee and has accounted for the combined
amounts as a single lease component.
The Company recognizes a right of use asset as a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right
of use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The Company has elected
to use the practical expedient of excluding initial direct costs from the measurement of the right of use
asset cost at the date of initial application.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date adjusted for lease prepayments and lease incentives, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease, or if not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is
subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment made. It is
remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or
changes in assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a
termination option is reasonably certain not be exercised.
The Company has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a
lessee that include renewal options, which significantly affects the amount of lease liability and right of use
assets recognized. The Company has used the practical expedient of applying hindsight in assessing certain
lease extension options. The Company has also used judgement in determining the incremental borrowing
rate based on the term, security, the lessee entities economic environment, credit rating, level of
indebtedness and asset specific adjustments.
The adoption of IFRS 16 have no significant impact on the Company’s opening financial positions.

4. Capital Management
Capital includes all the components of shareholders equity as well as proceeds from loans. The Company’s
objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order
to pursue the acquisition and exploration of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital
structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its
principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. Further information relating to liquidity risk
is disclosed in note 5.
The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the
risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue
new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of
cash and cash equivalents and investments.
To facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares budgets that are updated as
necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry
conditions. The budgets are approved by the Board of Directors.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended August 31,
2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
5. Management of Financial Risk
Fair value measurement disclosure includes classification of financial instrument fair values in a hierarchy
comprising three levels reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements, described as
follows:
Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities, other than Level 1 prices such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and
Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as
discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.
The Company’s financial instruments as at August 31, 2020 are as follows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Financial assets at FVTPL
Cash $ 2,157,040 $ - $ -

a) Fair value
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties
approximated their fair value since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market
rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature. The loans payable and convertible debentures are
classified as level 2 due as the fair value is determined based on market interest rates.
b) Interest rate risk
The Company has some exposure at August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019 to interest rate risk through
its financial instruments; however, the risk is not significant as the loans payable and convertible debentures
have fixed, simple interest rates between 3% - 7.5% per annum.
c) Currency risk
As at August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, the majority of the Company’s cash was held in Canadian
dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable
and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Loans payable outstanding as at August 31,
2020 and November 30, 2019 are in Canadian dollars. Currency risk is not significant.
d) Credit risk
Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash, as substantially all amounts are held
at major financial institutions. The credit risk associated with cash is minimized by ensuring that these
financial assets are placed with financial institutions with investment-grade ratings by a primary ratings
agency.
e) Liquidity risk
The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances. Liquidity
requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to
meet short-term obligations. As at August 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $2,157,040 (November 30,
2019 - $94,725) to settle current liabilities of $3,185,333 (November 30, 2019 - $1,450,850).

10. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)
a) Ulu Property
The Ulu Property consists of a renewable 21-year lease with an area of approximately 947 hectares and an
expiry date of November 18, 2038.
On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Elgin
Mining Inc. and Bonito Capital Corp. (collectively, “Elgin”), to acquire an 80% undivided interest in the
Ulu Property. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares, paid $125,000, and
incurred $300,000 in property expenditures to earn a 70% interest in the Ulu Property. On September 10,
2014, Mandalay Resources Corporation (“Mandalay”) acquired Elgin. The Ulu Property is subject to a 5%
net production proceeds royalty.
On January 8, 2018, the Company and Mandalay entered into the New Ulu Property Option Agreement.
The new option agreement supersedes all prior agreements covering the Ulu Property. On July 19, 2019,
the option agreement was further amended (the “Amended Option Agreement”). The TSX-V approved the
Amended Option Agreement on November 26, 2019.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Option Agreement, the Company is required to pay the following:
• $200,000 to be paid upon the receipt of TSX-V approval for the New Ulu Property Option Agreement
dated January 8, 2018; (paid)
• $200,000 to be paid on or before May 31, 2018 (paid); and
• $450,000 (paid) in lieu of issuing 15,000,000 common shares, with such payment being made upon the
closing of the transfer of the Ulu Property and associated permits.
Additionally, the Company is required to complete the following:
• Assume all environmental liabilities, past and present, of the Ulu Property, including all current and
future obligations to any regulatory agency; and,
• Arrange for a third-party cash payment of $200,000 for the 5,000,000 common shares of the Company
presently held by Mandalay upon the closing of the property transfer.
Under the amended agreement, Mandalay will:
• Transfer to the Company 100% interest in the Ulu Property and associated permits upon regulatory
approval of the transfers;
• Assign all its rights to the remediation security, valued at approximately $1,680,000 ($1,685,542
received) which is held by the Nunavut Water Board; and,
• Transfer all right, title and interest in all structures, property and equipment located on the Ulu Property.
On November 27, 2019, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ulu Mining Inc., to which
the Ulu Property will be transferred.

b) Hood River Property
Pursuant to a letter of intent dated May 15, 2014, on February 26, 2018, the Company signed the final
Transaction Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) and NSR Royalty Agreement to acquire 100% of the
outstanding shares of Inukshuk Exploration Inc. (“Inukshuk”), with an effective date as of September 18,
2014. Inukshuk owns a 100% interest in the Hood River Property in Nunavut through a 20-year renewable
mineral exploration agreement (“MEA”) dated June 1, 2013, issued by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated
(“NTI”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares
of Inukshuk by issuing the shareholders (the “Vendors”) and their assignees 8,000,000 common shares of
the Company (issued in 2014 at a fair value of $560,000) for the transaction. The TSX-V approved the
transaction on September 18, 2014.
Under the terms of the Royalty Agreement in the Definitive Agreement, the Company will pay the
following:
i. Pay a 3% NSR royalty on the disposition of all minerals produced from the Hood River Property;
ii. Make advance royalty payments totalling $500,000 in accordance with the following schedule:
(1) $25,000 (paid) within 25 business days of TSX-V preliminary approval;
(2) an additional $100,000 (paid) on or before February 28, 2018;
(3) an additional $125,000 (paid) on or before February 28, 2019;
(4) an additional $125,000 (paid) on or before February 28, 2020; and
(5) an additional $125,000 on or before February 28, 2021.
iii. Offer the vendor a right of conveyance if the Company abandons the Hood River Property; and
iv. Maintain the Hood River Property in good standing during the conveyance period.
Prior to the commencement of commercial production on the Hood River Property, the Company has the
option to acquire up to 2% of the NSR for up to $8,000,000 under the following terms:
i. Purchase an initial 0.5% of the NSR for $1,000,000;
ii. Purchase an additional 0.5% of the NSR for an additional $1,500,000;
iii. Purchase an additional 0.5% of the NSR for an additional $2,500,000; and
iv. Purchase an additional 0.5% of the NSR for an additional $3,000,000

10. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)
Title to resource properties
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to exploration properties in which it has an interest,
in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these
procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior
agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Realization of assets
The investment in and expenditures on exploration properties comprise a significant portion of the
Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the
establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the
proceeds of their disposal. Resource exploration and development is highly speculative and involves
inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are
explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration
programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.
The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to
date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. These costs will be depleted over the useful lives
of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are
abandoned or the claims are permitted to lapse.
Environmental
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in
which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material
and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that
were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had
an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable
environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems
related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory
compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s
operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of
exploration and development on the resource properties, the potential for production on the property may
be diminished or negated.

debentures. Each unit is priced at $1,000 and consists of 20,000 non-secured Convertible Debentures (the
“Debentures”) and 20,000 non-transferable Common Share purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Each
Debenture bears an annual simple interest rate of 7.5% over its term of up to three years (the "Term") and
the interest is to be calculated and paid annually in advance for each year. During the first year of the Term,
the conversion price will be $0.05 per share. During the second and third years of the Term, the conversion
price will be $0.10 per share. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the
Company at an exercise price of $0.075 per share during the Term.

13. Convertible Debentures (continued)
The Company received total proceeds of $3,000,000 by issuing 3,000 units of convertible debentures. In
November 2019, upon the approval of the TSX-V, the Company issued 60,000,000 warrants to the
debenture holders. The Company paid finders' fees of $66,635, incurred legal and filing fees of $41,257,
and has an obligation to issue 560,000 finders’ shares at a fair value of $25,200 (issued in February 2020).
For accounting purposes, the convertible debentures of $3,000,000 are hybrid financial instruments and
were allocated into corresponding debt and equity components at the date of issue. The Company
determined the conversion feature and warrant components of the convertible debenture meet the definition
of equity instruments as the Company is obligated to issue a fixed number of shares for a fixed price within
each year of the Term. The Company used the residual value method to allocate the principal amount of the
Debentures between the liability and equity components. The Company valued the debt component of the
Debentures by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, discounted at a rate of 23%
which represents managements best estimate of the rate that a non-convertible debenture with similar terms
and risk would earn. The debt component is subsequently accreted to the face value of the debt portions of
the convertible debentures at the effective interest rate of 22.7%. Upon issuance of the unsecured
debentures, the fair value was separated into a debt component of $2,116,662 and an equity component of
$883,338. On issuance, the Company recognized deferred financing charges of $278,630 related to interest
for the first year payable in advance on the Debentures.
Convertible debenture 2020
On July 3, 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 4,100 units of the Company (the
“Units”) at a price of $1,000 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $4,100,000. Each Unit is comprised of
20,000 unsecured convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) and 20,000 non-transferable common share
purchase warrants (“Warrants”) of the Company.
Each Debenture has a maximum term of 3 years (the “Term”) and will bear an annual simple interest rate
of 7.5%. During the first year of the Term, the principal amount of each Debenture may be converted by
the holder, for no additional consideration, into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of
$0.05 per share and $0.10 per share during the second and third years of the Term.
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share at an exercise price of $0.075 per share
until the expiry date of the Term.
The Company paid finder’s fee of $32,500 in cash and issued 650,000 finder’s shares at a fair value of
$61,750.
For accounting purposes, the convertible debentures of $4,100,000 are hybrid financial instruments and
were allocated into corresponding debt and equity components at the date of issue. The Company
determined the conversion feature and warrant components of the convertible debenture meet the definition
of equity instruments as the Company is obligated to issue a fixed number of shares for a fixed price within
each year of the Term. The Company used the residual value method to allocate the principal amount of the
Debentures between the liability and equity components. The Company valued the debt component of the
Debentures by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, discounted at a rate of 23%
which represents managements best estimate of the rate that a non-convertible debenture with similar terms
and risk would earn. The debt component is subsequently accreted to the face value of the debt portions of
the convertible debentures at the effective interest rate of 22%. Upon issuance of the unsecured debentures,
the fair value was separated into a debt component of $2,949,315 and an equity component of $1,150,685.
On issuance, the Company recognized deferred financing charges of $307,500 related to interest for the first
year payable in advance on the Debentures.

number of issued and outstanding shares per year. Options granted to consultants providing investor

c) Stock options (continued)
During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company granted to directors, officers and consultants
10,450,000 stock options, exercisable at $0.06 per share for a term of 5 years. These options vested on the
date of grant. The fair value of the stock options granted was $517,461 ($0.05 per option). On May 19, 2020,

with the following assumptions:
